PIT retirinary lebriefing Vuvta THER IA LT
Tot Ba hae 20EO, CCRC AE IT

1. Prior to my departure for Yew York to handle the preliminary
debriefing cf THERTAULT, I discussed the following subjects with CA=5:

RIAULT's expenses on her recent
‘y'p te India have been ereater than was anticipated, /1,000
aiiitianal funds have or are te te shortly deposited tc her bank.
Thtg will be done by sterile checx. It {8s to be accounted for
ander the terms of the criginal centract.

i) In view of the fact that
+

C’NFA-5 sugested that ' wake Aer reports up with me for
vesaible annetation and expangien, {pon evarination on 14 May,
this avpeara unfeasible in view of the fact that there are cr4
coma {ndicators and RI symbole attached directly te the reports

CNEA-S sugiested that ! pursue with THENiAULT the

possibility of developing an interest in Krishna Menon, utilizing
a cleared publisher who could request Menon te write a book. This
a preack to be based on Menon's acute suaceptability to flattery.

3)

4) CNEA-5 sugrested that TUERLAULT be asked to review the
areas of her inflvence in order tc lay the groundwork for an
official {invitation to visit this country being extended to tle
‘ydea “4ntater in the future. Ue suggested Sen. George and

Ta

Chestar Rowlesa «as possipie points of departure.

Gs

S$) THERTATLT is te be informed that her reports have been
of ipreesurable agsigtanve te the Ambassador end to tha U.S.
Gevernrent vis-d-vic policy zlenning for india.

6) THERIAULT tg to be asked t> come to Washington for a day
or sc in the very near future for further debriefing. This ie
te be arranged at her convenience.

7) In view of the fact that THERIAULT has been unvitting
of the Agency's role in sponsoring her trip, I suggested that I s
new make ner witting in terms of the seourity involved. It Q.
seemed advisable to me since it is likely that there will be i
future contacts with TIVRIAULT, CNEA-5 agreed to this. &
‘ &;
#) THERIA"LT is to be advised that she is at liberty to af
digeuss any and all aspects of her trip with anybody with the =)
e ception of the agency's role in sponsoring it. OZ. <7

In view of the vast amount of work that must be done,

“ad other cemmitments which made it difficult to cover
adequately the material which t had amassed. If this is the
case on this trip, % should prefer not to press her. Cne
day's latitude seems the better part cf wisdom. CNLA-5
